Configure a Solicit-Response Send Port for the CData BizTalk Adapter for Google Data Catalog

This section provides step-by-step instructions for creating, configuring, and testing a static solicit-response send port using the CData BizTalk Adapter for Google Data Catalog. You can use a static solicit-response send port to execute commands and access the results in BizTalk. You can use send ports to execute updategram commands, SQL commands, and stored procedure operations.

Create and Configure the Send Port

Create a static solicit-response send port and configure it to use the adapter as its transport type.

1. If you have not already done so, open your BizTalk application in the BizTalk Administration Console.
2. In the node for your BizTalk application, right-click Send Ports and select New -> Static Solicit-Response Send Port. The Send Port Properties dialog is displayed.
3. In the Send Port properties, enter a name for the receive port.
4. In the Transport Type menu, select CData.GoogleDataCatalog;.
5. In the Send pipeline menu, select the default option, PassThruTransmit.
6. In the Receive pipeline menu, select the default option, PassThruReceive.

Configure the Adapter

Define the command the adapter will execute in the Transport Properties dialog.

1. In the send port properties, click the Configure button. The Adapter Transport Properties dialog is displayed.
2. In the CommandType property, select the command type you want.
3. If you want to execute an SQL command, enter the command in the SQL Command box.

Refer to the "Adapter Configuration" chapter in the help documentation for a description of the various properties and their functions.

Configure the Connection to Google Data Catalog

Configure credentials and other properties required to connect to Google Data Catalog in the Connection String Options dialog.

1. In the send port properties, click Configure. The adapter properties dialog is displayed.
2. Click the button in the Connection String property. The Connection String Options dialog is displayed.
3. Enter the connection properties. Below is a typical connection string: ProjectId=YourProjectId;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH

   Google Data Catalog uses the OAuth authentication standard. Authorize access to Google APIs on behalf on individual users or on behalf of users in a domain.

   Before connecting, specify the following to identify the organization and project you would like to connect to:

   • OrganizationId: The ID associated with the Google Cloud Platform organization resource you would like to connect to. Find this by navigating to the cloud console.

     Click the project selection drop-down, and select your organization from the list. Then, click More -> Settings. The organization ID is displayed on this page.

   • ProjectId: The ID associated with the Google Cloud Platform project resource you would like to connect to.

     Find this by navigating to the cloud console dashboard and selecting your project from the Select from drop-down. The project ID will be present in the Project info card.

   When you connect, the OAuth endpoint opens in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application to completes the OAuth process. For more information, refer to the OAuth section in the Help documentation.

4. Click Test Connection to verify the values and test connectivity.

Refer to the "Connection String Options" chapter in the help documentation for a description of the various properties and their functions. The updategram tutorial for the adapter for Google Data Catalog walks through the steps to create a simple application that uses a solicit-response send port to execute an insert updategram to Google Data Catalog.
